Natalie's Score: 90/100

A rich, complex pinot noir from a terrific vintage for Niagara. This has black cherries and smoke with great balancing acidity for food. Almost full-bodied, very rich with a long finish. Pair it with pork tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Lots of aroma's coming from this glass! This is a good value pinot - cranberry, plum and a touch of rose on the nose. Medium body with some residual peppery heat. The bright acidity would pair well with a pasta dish!

This wine is always right on the money. Don't be fooled by its shyness in the color department, it can do battle with almost any food, from a meatball sandwich to vindaloo (trust me on this). Really nice florals up front, rose petals and exotic tea spices. There is a creaminess on the mid palate that always reminds me of strawberry Campino candy. Strawberry and rhubarb pie, with a hint of stewed fruit at the back, perfectly ripe, good balance overall.

This wine is full of a blend of peppery, smoky and floral aromas followed by cherry and plum tastes. Would be well-served with a spicy Moroccan chicken tagine full of spices of fennel, mint, and harissa!

The nose evokes a cabin in the country, but furnished in a Laura Ashley style. Slightly smokey,with delicate dust motes lazily floating in a sunbeam.The mouthfeel is quite on the light side (It won't wake the cat, for sure), but not unpleasant at all.With a summer salad and some grilled chicken breast.
